Chapter 95 Compensation ([-]nd update today)

Du Sande didn't think that giving dividends would bring any benefits, especially he didn't think it would bring "them" far more than [-] gold pounds.

The introduction of one more new shareholder may of course be beneficial to the company.But the premise is that the proceeds obtained after the company sells the shares are owned by the company, and the company will invest the proceeds in production, research and development or sales.

Polina has a 25% dividend right, which is what Du Sande agreed when she bought her invention for five hundred gold pounds-but the whole body of the car is far more than the internal combustion engine.It's just that Polina, who invented the internal combustion engine, refuses to take half of the company's dividends.

Finally, after many discussions between her and Dusand, and with Androni's permission, Polina finally agreed to a 25% dividend of the company's profits.If the engine manufacturing plant comes out separately in the future, it will only take 25% of the profit of the engine manufacturing plant.

And her "dividend" is just the right to share dividends. Polina is now a senior manager and director of the company, but Polina herself has given up her voting rights—her voting rights were given to Dusand for exercise.

Du Sande alone holds 67.5% of the shares of the entire automatic car factory, while Lorraine holds the remaining 7.5%.

Business at the Belford Motor Works is surprisingly good.In this year alone, the total number of vehicle orders placed by the navy and army is as high as [-].This is not counting the tank research and development and the number of pre-orders of both parties.

The price of the navy-type truck is 435 gold pounds, which is the result of a 675% discount for Major General Horn's face.The army has no discount, and with their additional requirements for vehicle performance, the price of an army-type truck is as high as [-] gold pounds.

That's a total sale of 110 million gold pounds.According to the current gross profit rate of 25% and the actual profit rate of 22%, the net profit of the factory this year is as high as 24 gold pounds.

1% of the net profit is 420 gold pounds, Lorraine can get a dividend of [-] gold pounds this year, and Polina can get [-] gold pounds.

The dividend that Lorraine can get is definitely not a small amount. If it is reversed based on the flour price of twelve pence per pound, it is a full 180 tons of wheat flour.

According to Du Sande's previous life prices, the price of a kilogram of packaged flour is about 7 yuan per kilogram, and the price of bulk flour is about 5 yuan.The price of a ton of flour is about 5000 yuan.

180 tons of wheat is equal to 90 yuan.

This conversion method is of course quite outrageous, after all, the purchasing power of the imperial gold pound and the RMB are completely different latitudes.In Newsail, I want to buy a farm with three buildings and two thousand square meters, and the price is only eight thousand pounds.On the earth, it is impossible for a farm with three buildings in one square kilometer to sell for only 40 RMB.Just one square kilometer of private land is more than this price.

All in all, it's a lot of money.It may be more than the pocket money Lorraine has received in the past 16 years, and it may even be the net profit her parents can earn in about three months.

However, it is strange that Lorraine's parents gave the dividend directly to a person from Olin.

"This Mr. Hall Wharton... is the director of the Mining Consortium?" Du Sande asked tentatively, "Do you want to give them a round number? I'll give you another 2.5% as a favor .”

"No need." Lorraine shook her head. "This Mr. Wharton has a special status. He has never received any gifts. He may not want the dividends this time, but we have to have such a gesture... If he If we really accept these dividends, then no one will dare to think of us in the future."

Dusand rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "If we and the navy's attention can't dissuade some people with malicious intentions, it means that these people should be located in Olin, and they should be in high positions. .And this Mr. Wharton will be able to deter other high-ranking people in Olin as long as he accepts the dividend..."

He looked up at Lorraine, and asked in disbelief, "Are... His Majesty's people?"

This is a very simple basic reasoning, and Dussand couldn't believe it, just because this "recommendation" came from Lorraine instead of Androni or Lafayette Hou.

If Mr. Wensal and Ms. Broni—that is, Lorraine's parents—can communicate directly with His Majesty's people, and even have such a close relationship with each other, then according to the personalities of these two, I am afraid that they should immediately Just push Lorraine over there.The son of a baron is at most a mid-level nobleman, and the close confidants of His Majesty the Emperor... at least have the same status as a Marquis.

Wouldn't it be a step up to the sky to marry Lorraine to such a close minister or the heir of a close minister?

"It's a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor. If I'm not mistaken, this gentleman should be our dear Imperial Treasurer, Grand Duke Hall, the grandfather of His Majesty the Emperor."

The word "relative" suddenly flashed in Dusand's mind, and then fell into a new thought.

How did Lorraine's parents know the imperial treasurer and relative of the emperor?
"Grand Duke Hall used to be the Minister of Energy of the Mining Consortium, responsible for mining and selling the coal mines on the colonial planets belonging to the Mining Consortium." Lorraine gave the answer before Dusand asked, "I Parents and Grand Duke Hall have met several times, and the relationship is pretty good."

"Grand Duke Hall is 62 years old this year, and he has only one daughter—His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager." Lorraine continued to eat the asparagus in front of her, and said as she ate, "After my daughter married King Faroda VI, Hall Mr. became the Minister of Energy of the Mining Consortium. After the coronation of His Majesty Emperor William IV, the minister was appointed as the Grand Duke and left the Mining Consortium. After His Majesty was crowned, His Excellency the Grand Duke served as Regent for three years, and then he was appointed as the Minister of Finance of the Empire. I have been working in this position until now.”

"Your Majesty is 19 years old this year, and it's the time when you are interested in these weird tools." Lorraine emphasized, "As long as the Grand Duke accepts the dividend, it is equivalent to obtaining His Majesty's permission. As long as someone in the empire dares to move their minds , then you have to consider His Majesty's attitude."

Lorraine put down the knife and fork and said seriously to her fiancé, "In order to make you safer, the sacrifice I make is worth at least [-] gold pounds a year-you'd better think about it quickly, is there any way to make up for my huge amount?" loss."

Dusand suddenly sat up straight. He seemed to see that Lorraine had already raised her hand, and she seemed to be holding an envelope in her hand.

"It's a bit of a loss." In order to determine whether the envelope contained the notification letter "I don't want to wait any longer" and whether the slap will hit him on the face, Du Sande responded quickly, " I don't have enough funds now, do you accept collateral here?"

"What collateral?" Lorraine looked at Dusand curiously.

"Hmm..." Du Sande pretended to fumble around for a while, then took out a ring from his coat pocket and handed it over.

"Use this mortgage first, and I'll find a way to compensate you later." Du Sande continued to eat without paying much attention, while Lorraine's face suddenly turned red.

This ring was given to Dusand by Andronis. There were no precious stones inlaid on the ring—it had a complicated badge instead.

This is the Belford family coat of arms.

According to the tradition of the nobles of the empire, after the fiancé presents a ring representing his family crest to the fiancée, if the fiancée accepts it, it means that the marriage contract between the two parties has finally been confirmed.

Du Sande gave the ring, and then lay down to let Lorraine decide whether to accept it or not - anyway, Lorraine's character is not as scary as before.

"It's a pretty ring." Lorraine blushed, but said without showing weakness, "Then I'll accept it. If you want to take this ring away, you won't be able to pay enough compensation!"
